HARDY, Principal Senior High School HOISINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS HOISINGTON, KANSAS April 6, 1938 Dr. Forrest C, Allen University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: Perhaps you can add-to your letters of recommendation: that Hardy is persistent. This time I am trying for the Salina High School coaching job. I have sent my credentials and records to Superintendent W. S, Heusner and Monday I went for a personal interview. While there I saw Earl C. Woodward of the Class of 1910. He informed me that he played two years on your teams. I thought it best for you to write to him instead of to Superintendent Heusner. The address is Phe Salina Journal. The Board of Education will probably make the decision Monday night, April eleventh. Congratulations! Even your few enemies will have to admit after this years wonderful basketball season that you are the World's Best Basketball Coach. EDWARD D. KROESCH C. C.

Mr. Ramsey thinks I have good pessibilities in basket ball, however I was unlucky this past season, in that I suffered @ case of tooth infection right in the middle of the season and was never quite able to do what I would otherwise have done. We play an out door as well es indoor season in our Small school and I played some in 25 games scoring 285 points for the season. I have been high point man the past two years here and of course I realize that my chances with college basket ball would be uncertain, I would et least like to come out for practice. I am seventeen years old, five feet eleven inches in neight,-'and weich 150 vounds. Any kind of work I may get will be acceptible. I have worked in a grocery, evenings and Saturdays, since I wes fourteen years old. I thought perhaps you could find Some way for me to work to pay in part my expenses in school.

Allen Lawrence, Kansas Dear Fog: Thank you very much for your kind letters I appreciate them very much. The letters to: your basket-—ball players were very interesting and gives one an inside light as to why Kansas wins the basket—ball championship with so much regularity. With the nationel Collegiate Championship Tournement coming up for the first time I think that you and all of us are very fortunate in having such a good squad to work with and I am sure that they will go places and do things. That is a very fine Southern trip you have worked out for the boys. Wish that you could drop in on us for a few days as we are very well situated in a lovely home in Beverly Hills. This evening we are going out on the beach for a picnic dinner and to watch the tide come in and the sun go down. I feel better then at any time in the past six months and my blood is staying un better. It now looks a little more then possible that some day I may be able to return to my work and to my friends. I haven't heard any more from Ole so do not know if he got his coaching job or not. It doesn't look like too much of a good thing but at least it will get him started and his feet down on solid ground. I would hate to see him go back to New York. I had lunch and a nice visit with Bill Hargiss which I enjoyed very much. Fraternally yours, arr QOQ Marvin Hall : August 30, 1988. Dre Marvin Hall, 704 Kensas Avenue, Topekm, Kansase Dear Tre Halls I am wondering if you ere back in Topelm times I want to send you same information a little on which I want you to have as a member of the Athletic Board and es a friend of a Tansas boys 1 shell be giant to ce imow when you are in Topelte Trector of Physical Rdueation, POASAH Varsity Basketball Coache ey November 17, 1957. Reve We Hilst, Preston, Kansase Dear Reverend Hilst: I an very happy to have your letter of the 16th instant, and assure you that I will be glad to call Harold in and have a talk with hime I might explein certain things that are perhaps in his mental background causing him to give up versity basket- bell for intramural basketball. The Triangle Fraternity has a strong team in intramurals and doubtless the fraternity is asking him to go in for intremurals rather than for the varsity. My approach to him would be, of course, to talk with him about coming out, but we never urge the boys to do so, placing it squarely up to their owm desires. It is entirely a voluntary matter. You can see our position if we used mdue ~ pressure or persuasions They would feel that they were perhaps doing something for the coach or for the thiversity, if pressure were put upon them. Varsity athletics should be a pleasufe and should heve a side that is stimulating in playe I am sure you will agree with me, Reverend Hilst, that the most difficult man to teach is the fellow that you have to persuade to play. There will, of course, be discouraging moments. There will be times when a boy is either mentally or physically ill, when he feels that someone else is being given a greater opportunity than he is, and it takes all the courage surging up in a man's breast tio keep him going through discourage- mente However, in the long run, this is good for thems I only mention these things to describe a cycle that has been in the life of each one of us, and doubtless it has recurred to him many tiness — I will call him in, but you can see that I am in rather a bad position to go beyond the point of having a friendly chat with him and asking if he is interested in varsity basketballs We have issued the call and of course he has not responded. On your account we will do this extra thing, but it is not done in Le the general rum of casese I went you to lmow that 1 appreciate your interest in the Kansas basketball team and in reciprocity I am interested in your son. If there is any act or word that I can initiate in Harold's behalf, please be assured thet I will always be happy to do that particular things With kindest regards, I am Sincerely yours, FCA 3:AH 2 Director of Physical Bducatione
